Open form and position to a record on subform

I am using Access 2003 and I would like to open a form containing a subform with the cursor positioned on a specific record in the subform. The subform contains a column for "ItemNumber" and I would like to specify using VBA code what Item Number in the subform that the cursor will be positioned on. Is there a way to do this?

Be careful with the NameOfYourSubformCONTROL syntax also. This is the name of the Subform control you've placed on your mainform, and may or may not be the same as the Form you're using as a SourceObject. To insure you're working with the correct item, click ONCE on the Subform, then examine the Properties of that item. If you find a property named "SourceObject", you've got the right item. If not, you'll have to de-focuse that item, and try again.
